Plopu 26: Daily topics

This year's edition of Plopu Camp has had as main subject one of Paul's advice: "Be men! (1Cor. 16:13).
We've explored this subject, of the Christian character, as a journey, by faith, to God's standard.
What does God expect from us?
How does God want us to be?
He has shown us this through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Jesus Christ and Him crucified, shows what He expects from us.
He's expecting us to love our enemies, to do good to those who harm us, to mediate for those who conspire against us!
Otherwise, we're only philosophers, moral people or religious indoctrinated men.
God's standard for men has not gone down and will not.
If you don't love your enemies your a Christian demagogue, or a religious militant.
Is it difficult? Is it easy?
Maybe the better question is if it is possible. Jesus proved this thing. And other followers of His did.
The Heaven's Ladder (Peter's Ladder) from 2 Peter 1:5-7 illustrates this journey ahead and upwards.
2 Peter 1:5-7 For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love.


Every day, at Plopu, we've hovered about the meanings of each "stair".
